About D Lodge

We have been married for 20 years and have 2 teenage children. We live in North West England and both have very busy jobs. We have done a lot of travelling over the years and we wanted a place of our own where we could kick back and relax. We chose Turkey because it is such a beautiful and varied country. The food is great and the people are friendly. There is also so much to do in Turkey and the cost of living is considerably cheaper than the UK. However, the climate has to be the biggest attraction. With fantastic hot summers and short winters, it really is a wonderful place to be.

Why D Lodge chose Lycian & Turquoise Coast

We chose Uzumlu as it is away from the hustle and bustle of the coastal resorts yet within very easy reach of a wide range of attractions as well as beautiful beaches. The villa is close to the laid back unspoilt village of Uzumlu but in a more peaceful location. We fell in love with the villa, it's position and the uninterrupted views across the valley. The landscape is truly breathtaking. The villa is one of six villas and therefore not isolated but due to it's front line position it offers privacy. It is south west facing and therefore benefits from the sunshine all day long. We were looking for a villa with a pool that was light, spacious and also had lots of outdoor space. We were so lucky to find Villa Maria, it really is so peaceful and relaxing, you don't want to go home!

What makes this villa unique

Villa Maria has beautiful views from every window. It is almost 360 degree panoramic views and this is what we love about the villa. The pool is lovely to swim and cool down in and the steps into the pool are great to sit on and enjoy a relaxing drink or read a book. We love seeing the farmer bring his goats to graze on the land in front of the villa and watching the birds. It really is the best of both worlds, peace and tranquility in abundance yet a few minutes away all the amenities and restaurants and bars you may need.

Notes on accommodation: Villa Maria has a safe and is also equipped with an alarm system. This gives excellent security and peace of mind when your valuables are in the property but you are not! All windows and sliding doors have fly nets fitted so that the cooling summer breezes can keep the villa cool without being bothered by flys or other insects. Outside: Private Pool (approx. 40 sq m) Barbecue Balcony Terrace Garden 6 seater dining set 4 seater dining set Hammock 6 sun loungers 3 parasols and bases 3 coffee tables There are patio doors in the lounge which lead directly to a large tiled terrace at the front of the property with a tiled roof above. The uninterrupted views from the terrace are truly stunning. This is an ideal place to dine al fresco and take in the peace and tranquillity that Villa Maria offers. Utility Room: Washing Machine Clothes Dryer Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: Linens Provided + Towels Provided

Wonderful holiday in paradise

Having stayed in quite a few villas in the past Villa Maria was a delightful surprise. Usually there is always something that is not quite right but Villa Maria proved to be outstanding. Everything was to the highest standard with more than adequate supplies of tableware cutlery etc. Inside all rooms were very well appointed and comfortable and outside space was vast. Lots of seating areas both in sun and shade giving opportunities for both sun and shade/quiet. The owners were a delight to deal with and most helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this Villa and would love to stay again at some time in the future.

Owner's Response: We are so glad that you had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday with all of your home comforts around you. It does get hot in the summer so it's great that there is the shade as well as the other areas to enjoy the sun. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

Wonderful stay at the beautiful Villa Maria

I can only echo the previous reviewers. This property is simply stunning, very well maintained and exactly as described. Beautiful location and lovely walks into the village at which you can buy all required provisions. The owners were very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. We had not hesitation in rebooking villa Maria and are very much looking forward to returning in September.

Owner's Response: We are delighted that you had a lovely stay at Villa Maria. The villa is just as lovely in the winter as it is in the summer and I am sure the log burner helped you stay warm and cosy! We look forward to welcoming you in September when the weather will be very hot, you won't need the log burner but you will need the pool to cool down in!

Tennison family of Roos had a fantastic stay

All I can do is echo the comments left by the previous reviewers. After opening the front door we were greeted by a genuine WOW factor. The well decorated light and airy main living area with dining area and well equipped kitchen directly off, is a real class act. Our family of 4 were easily accommodated within the three lovely bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms. This was only bettered when you ventured outside onto an amazingly private patio with wonderful views. I have to admit, we spent a lot of time eating, drinking and talking at the 5 seater table there. The pool and further extra patio was the finishing touch to a magical setting. Uzumlu village is not a short walk but is very charming and well set up for bars, shops and restaurants. We hired a car for the 14 days and would say that this made access to the villa much easier. Top Tip. we bought a Turkish SD card for our Garmin Sat Nav on Amazon for about £30 and it paid for itself just on the drive from Dalaman Airport to the Villa in the dark. We drove to Fethiye many times as well as Olu Deniz, Saklikent Gorge and Pamukkale and had a great holiday. Cannot recommend it enough.

Owner's Response: We are delighted that you had a great holiday and that you love the villa and it's setting as much as we do. A great idea about the SD card. Thank you for your kind words and we do hope that we can welcome you back one day to our holiday home.

relaxing and beautiful villa

We enjoyed a wonderful fortnight at this beautiful villa in August. Villa Maria is an extremely well equipped home in the most beautiful setting. The facilities are excellent and provide visitors with everything you could possibly need.

We booked a meet and greet and would recommend this(as do the villa owners), as Villa Maria is in a quiet location, away from the main road.

We will certainly return to this hidden gem.

Top quality, spacious villa in peaceful location

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderful villa. Location and views were amazing! We have stayed in family sized villas for the last 20 years but yours was one of the best! It was so spacious, light and airy and beautifully furnished with good quality fixtures and fittings. Kitchen was well equipped and showers were excellent. The pool and outside space were gorgeous - plenty of room for everyone to do their own thing! We loved the little local village and shops and could get everything we needed there. I have never seen so many birds and wild flowers. So huge thanks, we all had a really brilliant time. (family of 5 with old teenage/twenty + sons)
